Tom Hardy’s Tattoos

Tom Hardy is easily one of the hottest actors in Hollywood right now. Roles in Black Hawk Down, Star Trek: Nemesis, Bronson, and Inception put him on the map, while roles in Warrior, This Means War, and The Dark Knight Rises look to make him a full blown star. On top of being a great actor, capable of taking on just about any role (the guy could be in a stage production of Mrs. Doubtfire and I’d watch it…ok, I’d watch that anyway…ok, I already wrote the script…. and did a dress rehearsal with my stuffed animals), Tom Hardy is also a big fan of getting tattooed. In a recent interview, he stated, “Every tattoo I have means something to me. Each one is something that I’ve been through in my life or I’ve done or I’ve been,”. Some of Tom’s ink-work includes: astar from when he found out he was going to be a father, the phrases “Figlio mio bellisimo” (”my beautiful son”) and “Padre fiero” (”proud father”), the name of his agent (fulfilling a promise that he’d get her name on him if she got him into Hollywood), a Union Jack, a tribal design, some sort of graffiti, and some female imagery (perhaps a mother holding a baby).
